> In getMatchingLevelForNodes, we assume that both nodes have the same "depth" (ie number
of path components). If the user provides a topology script that assigns one node a path like
/foo/bar/baz and another node a path like /foo/blah, this function will throw an NPE.
> I'm not sure if there are other places where we assume that all node locations have a
constant number of paths. If so we should check the output of the topology script aggressively
to be sure this is the case. Otherwise I think we simply need to add && n2 != null
to the while loop
